possible, to make for the South. Especially as my secret
was known, and everyone would be on the lookout for
a masked and muffled man. You have a line of steamers

run the risks of the passage. Thence I could go by train

There a man might always be invisible–and yet live. And

"That’s clear."

He has hidden my books, Kemp. Hidden my books! If I

"Best plan to get the books out of him first."
"But where is he? Do you know?"
"He’s in the town police station, locked up, by his own
request, in the strongest cell in the place."
